Hi everyone,
so its been about a month into the dreading process (neglect, natural, watever u wana call it).
and i notice that my scalp is super itchy and flaky. ive always had some flaking and minor itch but it really wasn't a problem before. As im typing this i realize that i have added salt to my last 3 washes and maybe thats the reason for the extra itchy and flakeyness. I currently wash with about 1tbsp of bs, 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 gal water, 10 drops of tea tree and rosemary. I have been trying to spray a mixture of teatree and rosemary instead of scratching and it helps bit the itch comes right back. Ill try next wash to leave out the salt and see if it helps. Any tips would really help alot...ive stopped to scratch like 5 times while typing this...its driving me craaaazzzy!
also, if i wash every 2 days i feel like i should be fine, but because my dreads are so new (they are coming along great by the way...alot faster than i was anticipating which is awesome!) im worried about washing too often because i dont want to undo/prevent any tangles. Is every 2 days too much washing? right now im uncomfortable by day 3 and miserable by day 4, which is when i wash (sometimes i wash day 3).
thanks fam!!
